I didn't read your previous carefully enough. With just start and end
date variables you could do this

 gen myindicator = 0
 unab LFS : LFS*
 local LFS : subinstr local LFS "LFS" "", all

qui foreach v of local LFS {
     replace myindicator = myindicator + LFS`v' if  inrange("`v'", date1, date2)
}

replace myindicator = myindicator == 6
